Dear Parents,
Next week is Thanksgiving Week! We all have so much to thank the Lord for.
Please remember that Thursday, the 28th is a half day. Children can be picked up from 11:40am by the classroom. Whatever your plans, we hope that you will all have a very special thanksgiving together.
In Math, we continue in Addition. Homework will focus on Whole-Part-Part addition. Please be sure to have it completed by Friday.
As you know, we are really enjoying learning about Animals in Science. Letters were sent home in Blue Folders on Monday, the 18th explaining the Presentations we will be doing from the 2nd of December. Please continue to prepare for those. The children are very excited!
In Literacy, we are continuing are fictional narrative writing. The children have been learning about different characters and now we will be using adjectives to describe them.
Reading books – please remember to record your daily reading on the ‘Reading Log’. Books will be changed once a week (usually Wednesday/Thursday). However, if there is no record of the book having been read, then it may be sent home again.
Spellings & Handwriting – spellings will be sent home as usual on Monday. For handwriting this week, we are asking the children to write out their Bible verse neatly. This will also help them to memorize it.
Library books – most of the children are doing a fabulous job of reading their library books and remembering the bring them back on the correct day (1A = Wednesday & 1B = Tuesday). Please remember to ask your child questions about the book to ensure they have fully understood it. Once the books have been read, children then take a short comprehension test on the computer. The more questions they get right, the more points they earn to spend in the AR Point Store with Ms Galvao once a quarter.
Christmas Production – The children are working incredibly hard on learning their lines and the songs for our Christmas show, “The Not Now Nativity!”. Show Night will be on Monday December 2nd. We hope to see you all there!
Have a wonderful weekend!
Mrs Wade & Mrs Every
